In the past 7 days alone, I've run into well over 40 people running a full meta loadout - Shotty, Luna's/NF, Wardcliff, OEM, Nova Warp, Shards of Galanor, I've seen it all. In [i]quickplay[/i].
Quickplay is really the only place lower skilled players have to actually enjoy the Crucible. Now with the meta swarming Quickplay like it's the goddamn plague, I have friends who are subpar at best who won't even touch Crucible because of the sheer amount of sweat in quickplay.
At this point it feels like I'm playing against zombies or NPCs instead of actual people.
Quickplay has become no different than Comp and it's sad. I'm in the last stretch before I get my Broadsword(I only now bothered to get it after seeing how close I was to finishing the quest), I'm at Mythic 2 on my last reset and I just want games where nobody is sweating.

There is definitely a difference. Competitive is much more pleasant right now.
